From Waiting At The Nets To Becoming The World’s Best Cricketer, Here’s Smriti Mandhana’s Journey

When Smriti Mandhana started playing cricket, her aim was simple. She wanted to be in the newspapers.

I used to tell my mother that I too want my name in the newspapers, like my brother. Therefore I got dedicated, as cricket is the only sport in India through which it is possible to be in the papers for a long time.

We were sad that we lost the World Cup by 9 runs but when we reached India, it felt like we had done something special. We thought what happened, happened but at least people know now that women play cricket.

Thank you for inspiring millions of girls around the country, Smriti, keep hitting it out of the park.
